Datang: My father is the head bodyguard

Alto was a little embarrassed by what his father Grizzly said. Yuchi Baoqi shrugged and said it didn't matter: "Let the past be in the past, right Alto, can you restrain your people?"

Altona shouted to express his loyalty and nodded quickly: "Yes, you can definitely do it!"

Yuchi Baoqi pointed at Qin Huaidao: "What he says from now on is what Quetzalcoatl said. Your tribe will be selected to form a defense team to participate in the surrounding security patrols."

Ma Zhou took out the trading manual and priced it with the Toltecs. The pricing of some things would fluctuate slightly from the Mayans' purchase prices. The main reason was that the wages of those involved in security patrols had to be carefully negotiated.

Yuchi Baoqi adjusted his short sleeves: "Your sacrifices will not be prohibited, only human sacrifices and blood sacrifices are prohibited. It is still okay to use animal flesh, blood, and hearts. Do you understand this?"

Alto and his tribe felt a lot better after hearing this, but they didn't know if the families that had been selected as targets of human sacrifice could still maintain their former glory.

Leaving Ma Zhou and Qin Huaidao at the exchange, Yuchi Baoqi wanted to go shopping. Since the advance station was built, his focus has been on Li Lizhi and he hasn't gone shopping for a long time.

Su Lie was walking behind Yuchi Baoqi. Yuchi Baoqi quickly walked to a stall and asked, "How do you sell this?"

The stall owner directly picked up a shovel and shoveled a paper bag of fried potato chips. He looked up and was about to ask what flavor he wanted to eat when he saw it was Yuchi Baoqi.

"Captain! Why are you here?"

Yuchi Baoqi smiled and said hello: "How do you sell these fried potato chips? What are their flavors?"

The stall owner pointed to several jars: "The salt and pepper one, the sweet plum powder one, the spicy one, the spicy one, the thirteen-spice one, which one will the governor eat?"

Yuchi Baoqi thought for a while: "Mix pepper and salt with spicy food."

The stall owner simply scooped out another bag and made it spicy. Two paper bags of fried potato chips were placed in Yuchi Baoqi's hand. Yuchi Baoqi was about to frown when he heard the stall owner speak.

"Captain, we are a tea and snack stall under the canteen of the advance station. No one is charged for coming."

Yuchi Baoqi started chatting with him: "Hey, do you think these potatoes are delicious? Are the next potatoes about to mature?"

The stall owner smiled: "Captain, the next crop of potatoes has just been planted, and this crop has just been harvested. There are a lot of them in the warehouse. I have been eating this for the past few days. It is good, and it is both food and vegetables."

Yuchi Baoqi looked at Su Lie: "Ah? Have you harvested the potatoes you planted last time?"

Su Lie nodded, and went to maintain order: "Yes, Prince Li Tai said that they will be fully mature in three months. He also said that according to the climate here, there can be another wave of seeds."

Yuchi Baoqi said goodbye to the stall owner, took Su Lie and drove off: "Is Li Tai at the temporary agricultural science center?"

Su Lie shook his head: "No, I've seen him at Fusang's side these past few days."

Yuchi Baoqi was numb: "Isn't Fusang from Japan? Where is Japan?"

Su Lie nodded: "Yes, I thought it was there before. After coming here, I realized what fuso wood is. Many workers called this place fuso."

Yuchi Baoqi understood that redwood, a very large tree native to North America, could not be seen in the Tang Dynasty. It could reach a height of 110 meters and a diameter at breast height of eight meters. It was indeed similar to the hibiscus tree recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. A comparison.

Yuchi Baoqi drove Su Lie to the so-called "Fusang" in a short time. After asking around, he found Li Tai in the field. Li Tai, wearing a straw hat, bent over and inspected the sweet potato seedlings. He pulled out some weeds from time to time and pinched them. Trim the top tips of some sweet potato shoots.

"Qingque! I heard the potatoes were harvested?"

As soon as Li Tai heard someone calling him by his nickname, his sister would definitely not have to travel all the way here because she was pregnant, and her brother-in-law was also accompanying him. He probably heard something and it was probably too hot. He should rest for a while after finishing this acre.

When Yuchi Baoqi saw that Li Tai was paying no attention, he simply got out of the car and walked towards the field with Su Lie.

"Qingque?"

Li Tai shivered with fright and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Su Lie's quick eyesight and hands quickly caught Li Tai.

"Brother-in-law, you almost scared me to death!"

Yuchi Baoqi patted Li Tai on the back and heart: "Don't be afraid of the gourd hair. Have you harvested all the potatoes?"

Li Tai nodded: "Collect it. If you don't plant it, you don't know. It's like ox hair. When harvesting, there weren't enough carts. I left some of the seeds and the rest were transported to the advance station. What happened?"

Yuchi Baoqi touched his chin: "Are the supply ships from Qilu coming to deliver supplies in the next few days? How about transporting some back to Chang'an for planting first?"

Li Tai thought for a while: "In this case, it will take half a month to unload the goods, and the loading will be almost the same. The potatoes will be shipped directly. They are for planting anyway. They will sprout after a month. As long as they are not rotten, the sweet potatoes will be ready by then." I’ve also gained something, so I’ll do the same.”

"After all, there is an interval between the supply ships going back and forth. We need to transport the potatoes back immediately. It may not be easy to get sweet potatoes next time."

Seeing that Li Tai had thought so carefully, Yuchi Baoqi patted Li Tai on the shoulder and said, "Okay, remember to bring the planting manual with them. When the time comes, I will give you a credit when I return to Chang'an."

Li Tai waved his hand and looked at the sweet potato seedlings in the field: "I have seen the power of potatoes. After the great Tang Dynasty, no one will starve to death again. The era of starvation everywhere is gone forever."

"Besides, these sweet potatoes are sweet and soft, and paired with white potatoes, one red and one white is a complete meal, and even ordinary people can afford it."

Yuchi Baoqi tugged at the mustache on his chin: "Have those large agricultural equipment been used?"

Li Tai nodded: "It is used, but the post-management still requires some manpower. Generally speaking, it is not as tiring as before. The location for planting soybeans and peanuts that you mentioned before, brother-in-law, has been opened. We don’t have time to plant it at the moment, so we’ll wait until the sweet potatoes are harvested.”

Yuchi Baoqi looked at the vast endless farm in the distance. The square grid farmland made people feel relaxed and happy: "This is really a beautiful piece of land."

Li Tai's eyes were misty: "It is indeed beautiful. If Baoli Trading Company had not jointly acquired the fields in Datang and engaged in collective planting, I guess they would still be cow dung fields in the east and west."

The agricultural talents who were working in the surrounding fields also came over and heard the word "beautiful land" spoken by Yuchi Baoqi.

"What the British government said is absolutely true. What if we call this place a beautiful land from now on?"

"Ten miles of fertile land, the rich products are even more beautiful."

The other people looked at the young man who was a bit sour but a farmer with a smile: "A Nian, it's only ten miles here, I'm afraid it's a thousand miles."

The young man named A Nian didn't hold his tongue, he just smiled and touched the back of his head, looking honest and honest.
